one very important note

there is a MAJOR problem with this mount. there needs to be a stop or bolt added to the main shaft of the pier because if you loosten the two locking bolts the main tub slips down and smacks on the mounts geared locking knob for attaching the mount head. it will bend the threaded shaft!!. Skywatcher need to address this ASAP. in the interim, adjust this pier height lying down. also shot up the tube showing the geared bolt

the last shot shows it in the back of a Subaru forester. the case with the wheels do not fit, i need to take them off to get it in
